About João Pessoa time
João Pessoa keeps one clock.
While the rest of Brazil's eastern seaboard shifts to daylight saving time, João Pessoa skips the adjustment entirely. Coastal meetings with teams in Europe or the Americas can now be arranged without the seasonal disruption of a clock change. The city maintains the same three-hour lag behind UTC every single day of the year.
